key of A
[A]The phone call in the middle [D]of the night, it never came A
She's been walkin' on pins and needles waitin' for the
[D]phone to ring
To put her [E]mind at ease
[A]The suns' comin' up and I'm comin' in
With another "I'm[D] sorry, It won't hap[E]pen again"
I c[F#m]an't understand why s[A]he never ran
When a[D]nybody in their right mind [E]would
Yeah I'm a [A]hard man to love
But [F#m]thank God she does
Keep [D]holdin' on, bein' strong
When "I'm [E]sorry" just ain't enough
[A]Soft as silk she stands
By her [F#m]barbed wire man
She's n[D]ever given up
I'm A [E]hard man to love
There's a dog house rose that God knows I didn't send soon enough
Sittin' in the middle of a crippled kitchen table barely standing up from where our kitchen was
It ain't pretty enough to make up for me messin' up the only love a man could ever need
She shines forgiveness from her patient eyes
I don't see what they see in me
Yeah I'm a hard man to love
But thank God she does
Keep holdin' on, bein' strong
When "I'm sorry" just ain't enough
Soft as silk she stands
By her barbed wire man
She's never given up
I'm A hard man to love
[F#m]But I found someon[D]e tough enou[A]gh to love a ma[E]n like me
[F#m]In spite of the tears she's cr[D]ied and the time she's t[A]ried
so hard to l[E]ove
This hard man to love
But thank God she does
Keep holdin' on, bein' strong
When "I'm sorry" just ain't enough
Soft as silk she stands
By her barbed wire man
She's never given up
I'm A hard man to love
No she's never given up
On this hard man to love
